I guess since it is being seen by the system probably means the USB connection is okay, though.īugMan, Maudio say that they bundle Ableton Live Lite 4 with it.Ĭan LiveLite communicate with it at all? Sounds to me like a driver issue. Are you hooked up to the USB via a multi-port or a USB extension cord? If so, get them out of the way so that the USB connection is as 'clean' as possible. If you have a lot of devices on that hub, it may be drawing too much.

It claims to be USB powerable, so shouldn't need the power pack. Looking at the specs at, the keyboard should provide both midi in and midi out (it has a midi-thru port, which should act as midi out as far as NWC is concerned). I'll just put my two cents worth in here. It's usually the basic and obvious stuff lurking unnoticed that causes our problems! Sorry if any of this seems basic or obvious.

Or search the posts here for 'Yamaha S-YXG 50' softsynth for a site to download and install it on your computer. You can pick up used ones cheap or get a Yamaha PSR-292 with the USB port to interface with your computer. In that case, use a keyboard with a MIDI sound module (any keyboard with speakers) and MIDI In and Out ports for the synth. If using Win XP/2000 and still no synth shows after reboot, or if you are running an earlier version of Windows, you need to get some sort of synth. If you are using Win XP/2000 and that synth does not show up, try rebooting, especially if you have not rebooted since installing the USB driver for the Keystation. Thebugman, are you running Windows XP or 2000? If so, you should at least have 'Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth' as an available playback device in NWC. I'm almost certain that it hasn't installed correctly. If that doesn't work, I'd uninstall the software, including the driver that came with the keyboard and start again. You should be able to see the 'USB Audio Device' appear and disappear as you unplug and then replug it.

and stretch the window vertically so you can see everything with all categorys closed up EXCEPT 'Sound Video and Game Controllers'. I have an Edirol UM-1 USB to MIDI device that WILL NOT activate unless I plug it in AFTER starting Windows, Ditto the USB flash drive that lives in one port on my PC)Īnother test you can try is to open device mangler. (with Windows running, USB devices SHOULD be inserted and removed while Windows is active or it won't always recognise they're presence. If it isn't there try unplugging the device and then plugging it back in. Is the 'USB Audio Device' listed as an available option? (Actually I don't think it will be or you'd have it available to NWC as well) The bottom one is for MIDI music playback where you have an opportunity to select a default device. If you open your control panel 'Sounds and Audio Devices' applet and select the 'Audio' tab you'll see 3 areas on the window.
